Miami Dade College College-wide CASSC Meeting March 12, 2013 CURRICULUM REPORT #97 1. School of Engineering and Technology Program Modification Program title: Database Technology - Business Intelligence Program Option Program Code: 25071 Effective Term: Fall 2013 (2013-1) Degree Type: Associate in Science Affected Campuses: 1,2,3,5.6,7,8 Program Length: 63 credit hours Rationale: Executive Summary Modifications to Program The School of Engineering+Technology proposes adding a Business Intelligence option to the existing Database Technology Associate in Science degree. This program option provides students majoring in computer information science disciplines with the knowledge and skills to build business intelligence applications and to manipulate massive amounts of data, turning it into useful information and reports which businesses can use for effective management and marketing. Business intelligence (BI) has become a mission-critical solution for companies of all sizes. To ensure that owners understand how their company is performing and what they can do to improve performance and address issues. According to Computer Business Review online: BI is a broad category of application programs and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing and providing access to data to help enterprise users make better business decisions. It is often deployed to analyze information captured through such enterprise applications, and is defined as an analytical approach to information captured within an organization, including extracting, collating, analyzing and distributing data, in order to support its operations. Across all enterprise size bands, financial analytics are consistently the most ubiquitous. Datamonitor expects that the global business intelligence market, which was worth just under $4 billion in license revenue alone in 2006, will double in value by the end of 2012. 1 APPROVE OPPOSE MORE INFORMATION 1 Source: Computer Business Review online http://www.cbronline.com/features/demand_for_business_intelligence_technology_set_to_soar Accessed: September 29, 2010
